The past year featured plenty of movement in the NHL. From Kevin Shattenkirk giving the Rangers a hometown discount to Vegas plucking Marc-Andre Fleury from the Penguins to the Golden Knights dealing for Jonathan Drouin, here are 2017's savviest moves.

The Canadiens captain gets candid about why he shuns social media, eschews advanced stats and understands the Olympics boycott. Pacioretty, who is proud of his Mexican heritage, says NHL players are open-minded, if not outspoken, about social issues.
